HS Code for Dried legumes
Dried legumes that are not specifically identified in other subheadings of heading 0713 are classified under HS code 0713.90. Chapter 7 of the Harmonized System covers edible vegetables, and heading 0713 is dedicated to dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled. These products may be skinned or split, but they must be dried and not further prepared. Subheading 0713.90 serves as the residual or "other" category for all leguminous vegetables that do not fall into the specific categories for peas (0713.10), chickpeas (0713.20), beans (0713.31-0713.39), lentils (0713.40), broad beans (0713.50), or pigeon peas (0713.60). This classification is essential for diverse pulses used in global trade that lack a dedicated six-digit code. The legumes must be in a condition suitable for human consumption or for sowing. If the legumes are ground into flour, they are moved to heading 1106. If they are prepared or preserved (for example, by cooking or adding sauce), they are classified in Chapter 20.

Common Misclassification
Dried legumes in 0713.90 are often misclassified under 0713.39, which is for "other" beans of the Vigna or Phaseolus species. If the legume does not belong to those specific genera, it must go to 0713.90. Another common error is using 1202.42 for ground-nuts (peanuts); however, peanuts are classified as oil seeds in Chapter 12, not as leguminous vegetables in Chapter 7. Furthermore, fresh legumes are classified in heading 0708, not 0713.
